I. INTRODUCTION
The body sensor network can help people by preparing
health care services, like monitoring and communication via
SMS or GPRS. The health monitoring system uses the
wearing cloth which has sensors or the body implanted
sensors. The health care system helps the patients and their
families by monitoring their physiological signal without
interrupting the patients normal life and increasing the
quality of patients life. The health care system does not limit
a patient to stay in the bed and in the current architecture, the
patients physiological signal is received by the patients
sensors and it is transferred to the coordinator node which is
a mobile or tablet, then it is transferred to the far base station
and then to a computer to save and analyze them. In the close
environments, the signal length weakens. Increasing of
Obstacles between nodes causes the increasing of the packets
loss ratio. So it is needed to increase the relay nodes, in the
closed environment, to cover the entire of environment. This
